    • Kindererziehung

An independent filmmaker, photographer, and writer -- Natasha Badhwar’s interests are eclectic. Her collection of essays, My Daughters’ Mum, is a heart-warming book on essential subjects, from selfhood and faith to parenting and marriage.



Born in Ranchi and grew up in Kolkata, Badhwar had a long career in broadcast journalism. She started with New Delhi Television as the first female videographer in news television in the country. She left the organisation 13 years later as vice president for training and development.



Badhwar, a mother of three, is keen on treading the unwalked path. Last year, her two older daughters, Sahar and Aliza, stopped going to school and opted for 'unschooling'. The writer calls it ‘unschooling’, which means exploring ways of learning without looking at the school curriculum as a guide.



In a candid chat with CNBCTV18.com, the acclaimed author talks about her decision to 'unschool' her older daughters and the power of stories.
